I am grateful to Ted Turner and Tom Johnson for the opportunity to have helped build CNN into a first-class television news institution.

I think the conditions of the great bull market are over, ... Disinflation has ended, earnings momentum is over, and interest rates are going up. It's a pretty lethal combination.

I think we're very concerned about media consolidation, ... If we weren't, I think we'd be proposing the elimination of any cap whatsoever ... and we'd rely on anti-trust authorities like we do for every other sector of the economy other than media.

I see it, frankly, as an outrage against the national interest of the United States and I won't sugarcoat that at all.

Our job is ensure that those deals that injure consumers don't go through, ... On the other hand, we don't want to prevent 99 out of the 100 deals that are either neutral from a competitive point of view or actually pro consumer and pro efficiency.

It is clear they did not achieve much except introductions and adios.

Today's global market means that you pay less for almost everything you buy. This has cost some American jobs, and we have to work harder at creating new and better ones.

This strategic alliance is a further value offering for the millions of users who rely on the Web for high-end data and unsurpassed financial news.

The facts are 82 percent of our shareowners also deserve a vote,

It was demeaning. It was degrading. It was very lonely,

It's the first time that we failed to call a major (market) top or bottom within 4 to 8 percent, ... So when the market didn't peak at 8 percent, I knew something was wrong. It was either the market was wrong or we were wrong. When the market went up 20 percent, we went back to the computers.

It's going to be difficult for us to work out the details,

It's our goal to be the No. 1 destination on the Net. And we think we can achieve that very rapidly because we are, respectively, in the U.S. market, the No. 1 and No. 2 companies here,

I'm not really concerned about it, ... It's a very clearly definable problem. We know how to deal with it.

The people I worked with were supportive, and I'm flattered that you would call what I did 'acting.'

I've made it clear in my reporting that we need a rational, effective and humane system. I don't support amnesty, and for that reason amnesty groups attack me. That's fine, it's a free country. Their attacks don't give me too much concern.

My council to Ted [Turner] is that he should watch Fox Business. He'll be elated to find how much substance there is in our news.

God bless the Florida Supreme Court.

We expect a horse race, ... The reality is that competition drives all innovation. Intel did nothing with its 386 chip for five years until AMD introduced its own version in 1991.

Hansen’s disease”—that’s the other modern name, I guess, for leprosy—“Hansen’s disease was so rare in the America that in 40 years only 900 people were afflicted. Suddenly, in the past three years, America has more than 7,000 cases of leprosy

We're all confounded by a lack of time.

I don't think we need to deal with just one thing. Look at where we are now compared to where we were when he [Barack Obama] walked into office. It's not a happy path.

I'm one of those fellas who's got lots of regrets, but I don't regret having regrets.

Israel is extraordinary blessed to have [Benjamin Netanyahu] as prime minister at this pivotal time in history and so is the United States of America to hear his voice against this deal.

I am not a person who is particularly patient with anyone so I am certainly not going to be patient with myself I think.

We have 23 million people unemployed. They're America's forgotten people. It's the damndest thing that this much collateral damage is acceptable to this [Barack Obama] administration.

The idea that a reporter has to be 'fair and balanced' is ridiculous. The fact is, the truth usually is not fair and it's not balanced. Truth stands by itself. And the idea that something called fair and balanced is a substitute for truth and fact is mindless nonsense that has captured much of the national media.
